    "What you see is what you get. I feel doing anything more is just too much work." Since he was 3, Brian had dreams of imitating the game show and television talent that he watched any chance he got. Sharing our stories in high school broadcasting class, we switched to sharing stories of a favorite friend of ours who worked in the industry for over 30 years and the legacy he left. Brian discusses the importance and rarity of being able to stay local throughout his career in local news and how his career has shifted to combat different roles he's received over the years at WRAL-TV. Naturally, the conversation takes a turn as we discuss the great game shows of the 70's and 80's as well as the hosts who made it happen. Brian is someone you could talk to for hours and hours, but we condensed this down to just under an hour for you!
